"This is a really tasty snack we usually have in our country, with tea, on a rainy day. Besan is ground chick peas; it's also known as gram flour, and you can find it at Indian stores. Serve with ketchup or chili sauce for dipping."

Very simple to make. I used 1 serrano pepper instead of jalapeño. Also, ground coriander (1/2 tsp) instead of the seeds.
